Subject: [PATCH] smb: client: fix data corruption with concurrent writes and
 O_TRUNC

cifs_do_truncate() flushes dirty pages with filemap_write_and_wait()
and truncates the file on the server, but in the old code both
operations ran without holding i_rwsem or invalidate_lock.  A
concurrent buffered write via netfs_perform_write() -- which only
needs i_rwsem shared -- could dirty new pages after the flush but
before the local truncation, and those pages would be silently
discarded by cifs_setsize() -> truncate_pagecache().

Fix by acquiring inode_lock (exclusive i_rwsem) and
filemap_invalidate_lock at the top of cifs_do_truncate(), so the
entire flush-truncate-resize sequence is atomic with respect to:

  - buffered writes (blocked by exclusive i_rwsem, since
    netfs_start_io_write takes i_rwsem shared),
  - read page faults (blocked by exclusive invalidate_lock, since
    filemap_fault takes it shared),
  - writeback collection (blocked by netfs_wb_begin/netfs_wb_end
    around the server truncate and local resize, since
    netfs_writepages also acquires the wb lock).

[PATCH 6.18.y] smb: client: fix data corruption with concurrent writes and O_TRUNC

[Sasha Levin]

[ Upstream commit a8603b52b39f520ea8a34def74c23fba87396d3e ]

cifs_do_truncate() flushes dirty pages with filemap_write_and_wait()
and truncates the file on the server, but in the old code both
operations ran without holding i_rwsem or invalidate_lock.  A
concurrent buffered write via netfs_perform_write() -- which only
needs i_rwsem shared -- could dirty new pages after the flush but
before the local truncation, and those pages would be silently
discarded by cifs_setsize() -> truncate_pagecache().

Fix by acquiring inode_lock (exclusive i_rwsem) and
filemap_invalidate_lock at the top of cifs_do_truncate(), so the
entire flush-truncate-resize sequence is atomic with respect to:

  - buffered writes (blocked by exclusive i_rwsem, since

  - read page faults (blocked by exclusive invalidate_lock, since

  - writeback collection (blocked by netfs_wb_begin/netfs_wb_end
